its used for bluetooth.

its connected via a flexible pcb and fixed on top of the soc-shielding.
the flexible part the wraps around the mainpcb and connects to it from
the lcm side.

see http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/a/a4/Gta02a5_pcba_ps.JPG

the connector labeled with 'H-BTFPC01'

since usb is kinda 'point to point' you could/must add a hub to keep bt
working.

kind regards
